Reparación por el genocidio extractivista in advance: Daños, Responsabilidades E Implicaciones Para Una Transición Justa
En este artículo indagamos por las implicaciones de otorgar peso a las denuncias de genocidio en el contexto de la extracción de combustibles fósiles, y exploramos las implicaciones para los movimientos que promueven una transición energética justa en su forma de abordar la reparación. Al poner en diálogo las narrativas legales dominantes sobre el daño y la responsabilidad con los reclamos epistémicos y políticos de los movimientos que exigen rep…
Reparation for extractivist genocide: Harm, responsibility and implications for a just transition
There has been increasing focus on the links between genocide and extractive megaprojects. Meanwhile, proposals for a ‘just transition’ to low carbon energy are increasingly concerned with ecological, social and cultural repair for harm caused by fossil fuel extraction. Yet there has been limited attention to proposals for reparation that might follow from recognition of (i) the genocidal harm attendant upon energy resource extraction and (ii) th…
On struggle as experiment: Foucault in dialogue with Indigenous and decolonial movement intellectuals, for a new approach to theory
If critical thought is to contribute to liberatory struggle, it arguably requires a general, even structural, theorisation of the nature and sources of power and oppression. This appears to be at odds with the critical project of questioning the immanence of truth to power, as famously framed by Michel Foucault. Yet Foucault’s philosophical project in fact hinged upon his own attempts to grapple with this tension. What is more, his ultimate failu…
Struggles for the Human: Violent Legality and the Politics of Rights
Racism! What do you mean? From Howell and Richter-Montpetit’s underestimation of the problem, towards situating security through struggle
I suggest in this essay that colonialism and racism penetrate the intellectual foundations of security studies at a level deeper than recent discussion would have us believe. This is because of unstated or disavowed ontological assumptions that shape the parameters of the field and lead scholars to foreclose upon a deeper understanding of systemic, racialized relations of violence. The problem in much critical scholarship on security, I will argu…
Marxism, coloniality and ontological assumptions
At the heart of Global Capitalism, Global War, Global Crisis is a revolt against fetishism: the appeal to abstract categories, treating concepts as if they referred to things ‘out there’ in the world, independent of social relations). It is commonplace to note that studies of international relations routinely fetishise a system of ‘sovereign’ states, abstracted from history and the social relations, practices and ideologies that sustain state pow…
Fracturer la politique: Ou comment éviter la reproduction tacite des ontologies modernes/coloniales dans la pensée critique
Rights in a State Of Exception. The Deadly Colonial Ethics of Voluntary Corporate Responsibility for Human Rights
It is widely accepted that voluntary corporate responsibility for human rights is a means of continuing “business-as-usual”. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been denounced as “whitewash”, with little effect in practice. I claim here that voluntary CSR is far worse than “whitewash”: it actively bolsters corporate impunity by rendering the violence of development illegible and equating resistance with irrationality or subversion. It thriv…
Collective Discussion: Fracturing Politics (Or, How to Avoid the Tacit Reproduction of Modern/Colonial Ontologies in Critical Thought)
This article engages in an experiment that aims to push critical/post-structuralist thought beyond its comfort zone. Despite its commitment to critiquing modern, liberal ontologies, the article claims that these same ontologies are often tacitly reproduced, resulting in a failure to grasp contemporary structures and histories of violence and domination. The article brings into conversation five selected critical scholars from a range of theoretic…
Security (studies) and the limits of critique: Why We Should Think Through Struggle
This paper addresses the political and epistemological stakes of knowledge production in post-structuralist critical security studies (CSS). It opens a research agenda in which struggles against dominant regimes of power/knowledge are entry-points for analysis. Despite attempts to gain distance from the word ‘security’, through interrogation of wider practices and schemes of knowledge in which security practices are embedded, post-structuralist C…
Struggles, over rights: Humanism, ethical dispossession and resistance
What should we make of appeals to human rights in the context of struggles against dispossession or armed repression? After the ‘death of man’ as transcendent ground of all right, critics have highlighted the disciplinary effects and absolutist tendencies of human rights discourse. However, attempts have been made to ‘rescue’ human rights – and wider forms of humanistic advocacy – as an immanent, self-grounding ethical practice. Drawing on analys…
Ethnography, Commitment, and Critique: Departing from Activist Scholarship
This article addresses the vexed question of relations between critique and political struggle. As emphasis upon the "impact" of research increases, possibilities of integrating research into practices of resistance have been highlighted. Such approaches lend themselves to ethnographic methods, with scholars engaged in these ways offering nuanced reflections on possibilities of "bridging gaps" between research and solidarity. Here, however, I dra…
The Making of Docile Dissent: Neoliberalization and Resistance in Colombia and Beyond
This study is about strategies of neoliberalization in relation to practices of dissent and resistance. It explores how struggles arising in the context of neoliberalization may be subject to entanglement within the very processes they seek to contest and—in so doing—interrogates the political stakes of neoliberal governmental rationality. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic research, I trace the international trajectory of mobilizations against …
Between Discipline and Dissent: Situated Resistance and Global Order
In this article we contextualise the Disciplining Dissent project through a series of observations about the ways in which the papers collected here contribute to existing perspectives on global resistance, and make a broader argument in favour of situated approaches to studying the interplay between global discipline and dissent. After outlining the concerns that led us initially to formulate the project, we offer a series of reflections about t…
Militant Manhood Revisited: A Note on Methods and Madness
This discussion engages with Janet Conway's and Sian Sullivan's comments on our article, ‘Deconstructing Militant Manhood: Masculinities in the Disciplining of (Anti-)Globalization Politics’. First, we clarify our understanding of global capitalist forms of ordering and of the gendered scripts attendant to them as a response to Conway's call for a more intersectional analysis and to her point about the relationship between the situated practices …
Deconstructing Militant Manhood: Masculinities in the Disciplining of (Anti-)Globalization Politics
In this article, we consider how privileged masculine performances within different spaces of (anti-)globalization politics discipline political praxis in ways that bolster, as much as contest, the order that these movements seek to subvert or overthrow. We draw on two case studies: a British ‘anti-imperialist’ organization working in solidarity with Latin America and the emerging British anarchist movement. On the basis of our own interpretive p…
The Gendered Violence of Development: Imaginative Geographies of Exclusion in the Imposition of Neo-Liberal Capitalism
In this article I consider how gendered hierarchies are constitutive of neo-liberal development and the violence attendant upon it. Building on Arturo Escobar's observation that violence is constitutive of development, I explore how the violent imposition of neo-liberal development is legitimised through the inscription of gendered imaginative geographies, which define ‘savage’ spaces of exclusion in need of ‘civilising’ development interventions…
A Study of Stereotyping: Testing Three Models With a Sample of Blacks
Two experiments tested the premise that the underlying stereotyping processes used by Blacks and Whites are similar Experiment I examined the hypothesis that people have more complex views of members of their own in-group than of an out-group. Results showed that Blacks held more complex views of Blacks than of Whites. Experiment 2 examined the hypotheses underlying complexity-extremity theory, assumed-characteristics theory, and expectancy-viola…

Job Characteristics and Well-Being at Midlife: Ethnic and Gender Comparisons
Lacking in the research on work and well-being is a focus on the characteristics of the employment role that contribute to well-being and their differential relations across ethnicity and gender. White and Black women and men at midlife (ages 40–64) were studied. The samples were drawn from two national surveys and included 186 White women, 202 White men, 254 Black women, and 169 Black men. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to assess th…

Interviewers' Voices and Refusal Rates in Telephone Surveys
Interviewers' voice characteristics are related to refusal rates in telephone interviews. Judges reliably rated vocal and personal characteristics of telephone interviewers from recordings of the first one-half minute of interview introductions. Interviewers with low refusal rates were judged as having comparatively higher pitched voices, greater ranges of variation in pitch, greater loudness, faster rates of speaking, and clearer and more distin…

Talking to children, foreigners, and retarded adults
Speech addressed to different categories of listeners was examined in a study in which undergraduate women taught a block design task to either a 6-year-old child, a retarded adult, a peer who spoke English as a second language (foreigner), or a peer who was an unimpaired native speaker of English. The speech addressed to children differed from the speech addressed to native adults along every major dimension that emerged in this study: It was cl…

Evidence for the Specialness of the "Baby Talk" Register
Ninety-one high school students watched, heard, and/or read communications addressed to children, adults, foreigners, or mentally retarded adults, and rated the speakers along 10 dimensions, including friendliness, concern, competence, and dominance. Stimulus materials portrayed only the speakers; hence, subjects had no information about the type of listener who was being addressed. Factor analyses of the 10 ratings made of the communications add…
